Context
8Wazee na watu wote wakajibu, “Usimsikilize, wala usiyakubali matakwa yake.” 9Kwa hiyo akawajibu wajumbe wa Ben-Hadadi, “Mwambieni bwana wangu mfalme, ‘Mtumishi wako atafanya yote uliyoyadai mwanzoni, lakini dai hili la sasa siwezi kulitekeleza.’ ” Wakaondoka na kupeleka jibu kwa Ben-Hadadi. 10Kisha Ben-Hadadi akatuma ujumbe mwingine kwa Ahabu, kusema “Miungu iniletee maafa, tena makubwa zaidi, ikiwa vumbi la Samaria litatosheleza konzi moja ya kila mtu ya wale wafuatanao nami.” 11Mfalme wa Israeli akajibu, “Mwambieni, ‘Yule anayevaa mavazi ya vita asije akajisifu kama yule anayevua.’ ” 12Ben-Hadadi alisikia ujumbe huu wakati ambapo yeye na wafalme walikuwa wanakunywa katika mahema yao, na akawaamuru watu wake, “Jiandaeni kushambulia.” Kwa hiyo wakajiandaa kuushambulia mji.
